THE JEWS-THE PROPHECIES-PAL-ESTINE.
No litllo interest appears to have been
excited throughout the religious and
learned world in relation to the great
movements of the European powers to-wards
the East, the missionary labours
in that region of the Christsin world to
the Holy Land, and the desire of remo-val
anil actual removal of numbers of
the lews" to Jerusalem. These events
-arc, wo believe, by divines of every de-nomination
of Chrislains, as well as b$
the Jews themselves, considered as tend-ing
lo the rapid and coming fulfilment of
prophcev. And here, we remark, which
wo do without adding any comment of
out own—that eminent clergymen in
in this city have recently declared their
belief that the second coming of the
Messiah is not fur distant. Indeed, a
friend assures us that only a few Buodayi
since, a divine stated in his sermon tli.it,
judging from the writings of the most
eminent commentators oiillie prophecue,
from the belief of the Christain clergy
generally, and more than all, from an at-tentive
perusal of thu Holy Scriptures,
ih.it somewhere about the yeur 1847, or
1H07, or Beat those periods, was thought
to bo Ihe important time for the verifies-lion
of ihe great prediction. The cler-gyman
alluded to, also emphatically no-ticed
the progress of events, which he
considered lo be of a character that por-leaded
the approach of some mighty
change. Our attention has been culled
10 the subject more particularly just now,
in coinequenco ol seeing sn able and
deeply interesting article in a late num-ber
of tho London Quarterly Review,
and another from tho pen Of?Major Noah,
in the Now York Evening Star, upon Ihe
same topic. Thus, tho matter is not on-ly
agitated in the pulpit and in religions
writings, but also literary and even polit-ical
publications. The very minds of
men seem to be called towards the Jews,
their movements—their conversion, and
tho Holy l.iud. The inlrod'i lion of
Kteam has done wonders towards opening
to that part of the world, a rapid com-munication
with Christain countries;
and affording grcnt fscilties to ihe Chris*
tain travellers. Tho evident influence
of Christain power* over the Sultan ol
Turkey and Uio Pacha of Egypt, also
tend to create a belief that soiri'i great
political change is about lo afTect the
East, and Mahommodan countries in par-ticularism!
it will be remembered that
Palestine Ins be. n in the pessession of
ihe followers of Mahomet, eversinco the
List ol tho Crusades.
The article in tho Quarterly is both
eloquent ami argumentative. The wri-ter
emphatically observes "that since
tlio battle of llio five Kings against four,
recorded
sum of money has been raised for tho es-tablishment
of a Christian Church at Je-rusalem
; and il possible, on Mount Zion

space for Ihe whole of Major Noah's ar-ticle,
bul the substance of il, with such
extracts as wo have room for, will be
read with interest. The Major copies
Ibo speculations of the London Quarterly
Review, and expresses the opinion that
" the political events of ihe east are ta-king
a direction which, in Ihe progress
of time, ar.d not very remote, will require
the intervention of some new and pow-erful
nation, to check ihe advances of
Russia towards the Persian dominion
to protect the British possessions in In-dia,
and divert the current of trade through
shorter and more Oircct channels—lo in

preservation for the fulfilment of those

Lord, that 1 will bring again the captivi-ty

yoke from off thy neck, and I will burst
thy bonds, and thou shall no longer serve
strangers; bul ye shall serve the Lord vour

thou, O my servant Jacob, neither be dis-mayed,
O Israel; for lo I will save thee
from afar, and thy seed from the land of
their captivity, and Jacob shall relum,
and shall bo in rest and quiet, and none
shall make him afraid. For I am with
thee, aaitb Ihe Lord, lu save thee, though
I make a full end of iho nations whither
I have scattered thee, I will not make a

TALE OF GRENADA.
11V WASHINGTON 1RV1NU.
There was onco upon a lnnu a poor ma-on
or bricklayer in (itcnada, who kept
all the Saints days and holy da)s, and St.
Monday into Ihe bargain, and yel with
all his dilution he grew poorer and poor-er,
and could scarcely earn bread for his
numerous family. One night he was a-roused
fioni his sleep by knocking
.il the door. He opened it, and beheld
before bun a tall, meagre, cadaverous-looking
priest.
" Hark ye, honest friend," said ihe
stranger, " I have often observed thai
you arc a good Chrislain, and one lo be
trusted ; will you uudenake a job ibis
very night I"
•• With all my heart, Senor Padre,
on coudiliou lhal I am paid accoi-dingly."
" That you shall be, bul you musl
-iiiler yourself lo be blindfolded."
To this Ihe mason made no objection;
so being hoodwinked, he was led by Ihe
priest through various rough lanes and
winding passages, until he slopped be-fore
ihe portals of a house. The priest
then applied a key, turned a creaking
luck, and opened what seemed lobe a
ponderous door. They quickly entered
the door was closed, and boiled, and Ihe
mason was couduclod through an echo-ng
corridor and S|iacious hall, into lh
ulerior pan of ihe building. Here the
bandage was removed from his eyes,and
ic found hiuisell ui a portico or court,
dimly lighted with a single lamp.
lr, the centre was the dry basin of an
old Moorish louulain, under which the
priest requested hun to form a small
vault, bricks and mortar being at hand,
for that purpose. He accordingly work-ed
all night, but without finishing the
vault. Just before daybreak, the priest
put a piece of gold into bis hand, and
baying again blindluldtd lien, conducted
him back tu bis dwelling.
" Are you willing lo return and com
plete your work I"
" Gladly, Senor Padre, provided I am
well paid.
•' Well then, tomorrow al midnight I
will call again."
He did-so, -i.el the vault was com-pleted.
" Now," said the priest, "you must
help ine to bring forth the bodies that are
to be buried in tins vault,"
The poor mason's hair rose on his head
at these words; he followed the priosl
n.ith trctuhli g steps into a retired eh m-
Inr ol ihe mansion,expected lo behold
■ome ghastly spt-ctoclf of death, but was
ri hi-vi d on seeing three or lour porlly

door of his novel, he was accoati d by a
rich old loan, who was noted for owning
many houses and being a griping land-lord.
They man of money eyed bioi for a
moment from beneath a pair of shaggy
eyebrows.
" I am told, friood, that thou art very
poor."
" There ia no denying the fact, Senor,
it speaks for itself."
■• I presume then, you will be glad of
a job, and work cheap 1"
" Cheap, my master, as any man In
Grenada."
"That'a what I want. I have an old
house going to decay, that eoata me
more lhan it's worth lo keep il in repair
—tor no body will live in il; so I must
contrive to patch it up, and keep it to-gether
ot as small sn expense as pos-sible.
Tire mason wss accordingly conducted
to a huge deserted house that seemed
going lo ruin. Passing Ibiough several
empty halls snd chambers, he entered sn
inner court, where his eye was caught by
an old Moorish fountain.
" It seems to me," said he, "aa if I
bad been in this place before ; but il is
like a dream. Pray who occupied Ibis
house lormorlyl"
" A pest upon him!" cried Ihe land-d.
" Il was an old miserly attest, who
cared for nobody bul himself. Ho was
said to be immensely rich; sud having no
relations, il was supposed he would leave
all bis treasures to the church. He died
suddenly and the priests snd friars
thronged in lo lake possession of bis
money but nothing could they find but s
few ducats in a leather purse. The worst
luck has fallen upon me; for since his
death, the fellow coulinucs to occupy my
house without paying renl—finds there's
no taking the law of a dead man. The
people pretend lo bear the clinking of
gold all night long in ihe chamber where
the old priest slept, as if he was counting
his money, and sometimes a groaning and
moaning about Iho court. Whether true
or false, these stones have brought a had
name upon my house, and not a tenant
will remain wilbin il."
" Enough," cried ihe mason, sturdily
—"lei me live in your house, rent free,
until some better presents, and I will en-gage
to put it in repair, and quiet Ihe
troubled spirits thai disturb il. I am s
goodchirstain and a poor man, and nol
lo be daunted."
The offer of Iho honest man was very
readily accepted ; he moved wilh bis fam-ily
into Ihe house and fulfilled all hia
engagements. By little and little he re-stored
il lo ils former state. There wss
no longer heard the clinking of gold at
night in ihe chamber, bul it b— an lo bo
heard by day in the pockets of Ihe living
mason. In a word, he increased rspidly
in wealth, lo the admirslion of all his
ueighbois, and became one of the richest
men in Grenada, lie gave large sums

from the respectability of the source

in the southern parl of Mit-sisppi, had

sum of money—say fifteen or twenty

shcriffdcnicii the request, and he stran-gi

however, the lady came to the con-clusion
that she had done wrong in re-fusing
lo take him in, and sent a servant
to recall him. The gentleman returned,
and soon after retired to rest.
Late in the night, three men, dis-guised
as negroes, came lo Ihe house,
called upon the lariv, and demanded pos-session
of the money left in her charge.
Believing thai there was no help for it,
■bo at length told them that the money
was in another room, ami that she would
go and gel il for Ibem.
Il so happen, il that the money bad
been deposited in Ihe room occupied by
Ibe stranger, and on her going for it, she
found the stranger up and loading bis
pistols. He had been awakened by Ibe
noise, and had overheard most of the
conversation between his hostess and the
robbers.
Telling ihe lady to be of good heart,
he gave her a loaded i.istol, and instruct,
ed her lo go out and present the money
lo one of the robbers, and lo shoot the
fellow whilst in Ihe act of I'oing it —-on

W'ORKINO CLASSES OP ENGLAND.
Mr. C. Butler, in • speech in Parlia-ment
on a late occasion, said :—" When-ever
1 contemplate the condition of the
working classes—the deep snd dark gulf
that separatea them from the knowledge
and sympathies of their superiors in for-tune,
Ibe utter ignorance in which wc arc
of their feelings sod wants, tho little in-fluence
which we have over their con-duct,
and tho little hold which wo appear
lo have on their sffections—I shrink
wilh terror from the wild passions and
dense ignorance that appear to bo fer-menting
in lhat mass of physical force.
We ace vast portions of them utterly neg-lected,
utterly uninslructed, and plung-ed
in debauchery, during the intervals of
toil. Among another and yet wider class,
we may observo tho spread of thought
yet moro pernicious, and the intercom-munication
of sympathies yel more men-acing.
Sometimes the murmur of tluir.
discontent snd ignorance assumes an ar-ticulate
form, and speaks in (lie accents
of tho disciples of Thorn, the followers of
Stephens, and tho millions whose creed
is Chartism ; for such arc the instructors
lo whom you leave the minds of the peo-ple.
Some learn their religion, from a
lunatic, in whose resurrection they be-lieve
; others arc taught thai every man
has a right to what wages he thinks rea-sonable,
and that he may enforce bis right
by tho dagger and the torch. Others
learn that rents and profits are a deduc-tion
from wages, and consequently be-lieve
lhal Iho owners of land and capi-tal
are Iho plunderers ond oppressors of
the workman. These doctrines advance
unencounlered by tho morality or the
simple political reasons which would dis-pel
their influence. This bnd instruc
lion is allowed to be Ihe only instruction
to the poor ; while you, the enlightened
rulers of Ibis country, whoso properly
and lives will be the first victims of these
terrible delusions of the masses, spend,
in a squabble about creeds, Ihe precious
lime which is rapidly bearing us on lo
the dark catastrophe of your culpable
folly and neglect."

SCHOONER."
Our readers have not probably forgot-ten
the tale of horrors of s year ago, about
"iho pirate off our Capes." The scbr.
Eveline, Sears, of New Bedford, arrived
al Wilmington, reported having fallen in
with " a long, sharp schooner of about 60
Ions," about B o'clock Monday. On her
stein, was painted " L'Aimstad." Shu
wss manned by negroes, many of whom
were naked.
The pilot boat Lafayette, al New York,
makes a similar report. There were 2f>
or 30 negroes on deck. She was seen
oft" Ihe woodlands by the pilot boat on
Wednesday.
Tho U. S. steam frigate Fulton wei.t
down immediately from New York, but
rclurned without seeing the schooner.
Sinco the above, the schooner lias a-gain
been seen, by the pilots on board
the John K. Davisun, about 25 miles from
Montague Point. Captain Bullengcr ot
Ihe pilot boat says :
" We asked if they wauled a pilot, and
received no answer, we hailed again, and
inquired if Ihey wanted lo go lo New-
York. They said in broken English, no;
but tbey were going losoinc other coun-try,
pointing to tho \. E. They asked
for water, bul would not come for il—
Wc then hoisted the American flag, and
hailed them tbe thitd time, and told them
to follow us—lhat we were going to take
Ibem lo New York. L'pon ibis, they
rushed lo the quarter-deck, and armed
tlieinselvi 3 wilh muskets and cutlasses,
aod hoisted the bloody flag at the peak."
The barque George Porter, since ar-rived
in our city, reports to Mr. Coffee
of the Exchange:
" I sailed from Neuvitas 0 days ago.

sailed from Havana about 7 weeks
since, bound to Neuvitas. with a cargo
of dry goods, dec, and 50 slaves on board,

CAPTURE OF THE PIKATE.
The " long, low, black schooner" has
been captured at last; in regard to which,
the following appears in Ibu New York

" We learn from Ihe Captain of Iho

from Hartford, lhat the suspicious
pirate looking vessel, hovering over the
coast, has been captured in Gardener's
Bay, Long Island Sound, near Monlauk
Point, by the L'. S. brig Washington,
Captain Gedncy.
"She is a schooner, about 1^0 tuns,
having about B0 slaves on board, and
supposed to have been bound from the

that the slaves rose upon the
Captain and erew, and murdered them
all, with the exception of three, whose

schooner had plenty of provisions, but
was out of water. The L'. S. Marshal of

THE JEWS-THE PROPHECIES-PAL-ESTINE.
No litllo interest appears to have been
excited throughout the religious and
learned world in relation to the great
movements of the European powers to-wards
the East, the missionary labours
in that region of the Christsin world to
the Holy Land, and the desire of remo-val
anil actual removal of numbers of
the lews" to Jerusalem. These events
-arc, wo believe, by divines of every de-nomination
of Chrislains, as well as b$
the Jews themselves, considered as tend-ing
lo the rapid and coming fulfilment of
prophcev. And here, we remark, which
wo do without adding any comment of
out own—that eminent clergymen in
in this city have recently declared their
belief that the second coming of the
Messiah is not fur distant. Indeed, a
friend assures us that only a few Buodayi
since, a divine stated in his sermon tli.it,
judging from the writings of the most
eminent commentators oiillie prophecue,
from the belief of the Christain clergy
generally, and more than all, from an at-tentive
perusal of thu Holy Scriptures,
ih.it somewhere about the yeur 1847, or
1H07, or Beat those periods, was thought
to bo Ihe important time for the verifies-lion
of ihe great prediction. The cler-gyman
alluded to, also emphatically no-ticed
the progress of events, which he
considered lo be of a character that por-leaded
the approach of some mighty
change. Our attention has been culled
10 the subject more particularly just now,
in coinequenco ol seeing sn able and
deeply interesting article in a late num-ber
of tho London Quarterly Review,
and another from tho pen Of?Major Noah,
in the Now York Evening Star, upon Ihe
same topic. Thus, tho matter is not on-ly
agitated in the pulpit and in religions
writings, but also literary and even polit-ical
publications. The very minds of
men seem to be called towards the Jews,
their movements—their conversion, and
tho Holy l.iud. The inlrod'i lion of
Kteam has done wonders towards opening
to that part of the world, a rapid com-munication
with Christain countries;
and affording grcnt fscilties to ihe Chris*
tain travellers. Tho evident influence
of Christain power* over the Sultan ol
Turkey and Uio Pacha of Egypt, also
tend to create a belief that soiri'i great
political change is about lo afTect the
East, and Mahommodan countries in par-ticularism!
it will be remembered that
Palestine Ins be. n in the pessession of
ihe followers of Mahomet, eversinco the
List ol tho Crusades.
The article in tho Quarterly is both
eloquent ami argumentative. The wri-ter
emphatically observes "that since
tlio battle of llio five Kings against four,
recorded
sum of money has been raised for tho es-tablishment
of a Christian Church at Je-rusalem
; and il possible, on Mount Zion

space for Ihe whole of Major Noah's ar-ticle,
bul the substance of il, with such
extracts as wo have room for, will be
read with interest. The Major copies
Ibo speculations of the London Quarterly
Review, and expresses the opinion that
" the political events of ihe east are ta-king
a direction which, in Ihe progress
of time, ar.d not very remote, will require
the intervention of some new and pow-erful
nation, to check ihe advances of
Russia towards the Persian dominion
to protect the British possessions in In-dia,
and divert the current of trade through
shorter and more Oircct channels—lo in

and shall bo in rest and quiet, and none

TALE OF GRENADA.
11V WASHINGTON 1RV1NU.
There was onco upon a lnnu a poor ma-on
or bricklayer in (itcnada, who kept
all the Saints days and holy da)s, and St.
Monday into Ihe bargain, and yel with
all his dilution he grew poorer and poor-er,
and could scarcely earn bread for his
numerous family. One night he was a-roused
fioni his sleep by knocking
.il the door. He opened it, and beheld
before bun a tall, meagre, cadaverous-looking
priest.
" Hark ye, honest friend," said ihe
stranger, " I have often observed thai
you arc a good Chrislain, and one lo be
trusted ; will you uudenake a job ibis
very night I"
•• With all my heart, Senor Padre,
on coudiliou lhal I am paid accoi-dingly."
" That you shall be, bul you musl
-iiiler yourself lo be blindfolded."
To this Ihe mason made no objection;
so being hoodwinked, he was led by Ihe
priest through various rough lanes and
winding passages, until he slopped be-fore
ihe portals of a house. The priest
then applied a key, turned a creaking
luck, and opened what seemed lobe a
ponderous door. They quickly entered
the door was closed, and boiled, and Ihe
mason was couduclod through an echo-ng
corridor and S|iacious hall, into lh
ulerior pan of ihe building. Here the
bandage was removed from his eyes,and
ic found hiuisell ui a portico or court,
dimly lighted with a single lamp.
lr, the centre was the dry basin of an
old Moorish louulain, under which the
priest requested hun to form a small
vault, bricks and mortar being at hand,
for that purpose. He accordingly work-ed
all night, but without finishing the
vault. Just before daybreak, the priest
put a piece of gold into bis hand, and
baying again blindluldtd lien, conducted
him back tu bis dwelling.
" Are you willing lo return and com
plete your work I"
" Gladly, Senor Padre, provided I am
well paid.
•' Well then, tomorrow al midnight I
will call again."
He did-so, -i.el the vault was com-pleted.
" Now," said the priest, "you must
help ine to bring forth the bodies that are
to be buried in tins vault,"
The poor mason's hair rose on his head
at these words; he followed the priosl
n.ith trctuhli g steps into a retired eh m-
Inr ol ihe mansion,expected lo behold
■ome ghastly spt-ctoclf of death, but was

rich old loan, who was noted for owning
many houses and being a griping land-lord.
They man of money eyed bioi for a
moment from beneath a pair of shaggy
eyebrows.
" I am told, friood, that thou art very
poor."
" There ia no denying the fact, Senor,
it speaks for itself."
■• I presume then, you will be glad of
a job, and work cheap 1"
" Cheap, my master, as any man In
Grenada."
"That'a what I want. I have an old
house going to decay, that eoata me
more lhan it's worth lo keep il in repair
—tor no body will live in il; so I must
contrive to patch it up, and keep it to-gether
ot as small sn expense as pos-sible.
Tire mason wss accordingly conducted
to a huge deserted house that seemed
going lo ruin. Passing Ibiough several
empty halls snd chambers, he entered sn
inner court, where his eye was caught by
an old Moorish fountain.
" It seems to me," said he, "aa if I
bad been in this place before ; but il is
like a dream. Pray who occupied Ibis
house lormorlyl"
" A pest upon him!" cried Ihe land-d.
" Il was an old miserly attest, who
cared for nobody bul himself. Ho was
said to be immensely rich; sud having no
relations, il was supposed he would leave
all bis treasures to the church. He died
suddenly and the priests snd friars
thronged in lo lake possession of bis
money but nothing could they find but s
few ducats in a leather purse. The worst
luck has fallen upon me; for since his
death, the fellow coulinucs to occupy my
house without paying renl—finds there's
no taking the law of a dead man. The
people pretend lo bear the clinking of
gold all night long in ihe chamber where
the old priest slept, as if he was counting
his money, and sometimes a groaning and
moaning about Iho court. Whether true
or false, these stones have brought a had
name upon my house, and not a tenant
will remain wilbin il."
" Enough," cried ihe mason, sturdily
—"lei me live in your house, rent free,
until some better presents, and I will en-gage
to put it in repair, and quiet Ihe
troubled spirits thai disturb il. I am s
goodchirstain and a poor man, and nol
lo be daunted."
The offer of Iho honest man was very
readily accepted ; he moved wilh bis fam-ily
into Ihe house and fulfilled all hia
engagements. By little and little he re-stored
il lo ils former state. There wss
no longer heard the clinking of gold at
night in ihe chamber, bul it b— an lo bo
heard by day in the pockets of Ihe living
mason. In a word, he increased rspidly
in wealth, lo the admirslion of all his
ueighbois, and became one of the richest
men in Grenada, lie gave large sums

from the respectability of the source

in the southern parl of Mit-sisppi, had

sum of money—say fifteen or twenty

shcriffdcnicii the request, and he stran-gi

however, the lady came to the con-clusion
that she had done wrong in re-fusing
lo take him in, and sent a servant
to recall him. The gentleman returned,
and soon after retired to rest.
Late in the night, three men, dis-guised
as negroes, came lo Ihe house,
called upon the lariv, and demanded pos-session
of the money left in her charge.
Believing thai there was no help for it,
■bo at length told them that the money
was in another room, ami that she would
go and gel il for Ibem.
Il so happen, il that the money bad
been deposited in Ihe room occupied by
Ibe stranger, and on her going for it, she
found the stranger up and loading bis
pistols. He had been awakened by Ibe
noise, and had overheard most of the
conversation between his hostess and the
robbers.
Telling ihe lady to be of good heart,
he gave her a loaded i.istol, and instruct,

lo one of the robbers, and lo shoot the

W'ORKINO CLASSES OP ENGLAND.
Mr. C. Butler, in • speech in Parlia-ment
on a late occasion, said :—" When-ever
1 contemplate the condition of the
working classes—the deep snd dark gulf
that separatea them from the knowledge
and sympathies of their superiors in for-tune,
Ibe utter ignorance in which wc arc
of their feelings sod wants, tho little in-fluence
which we have over their con-duct,
and tho little hold which wo appear
lo have on their sffections—I shrink
wilh terror from the wild passions and
dense ignorance that appear to bo fer-menting
in lhat mass of physical force.
We ace vast portions of them utterly neg-lected,
utterly uninslructed, and plung-ed
in debauchery, during the intervals of
toil. Among another and yet wider class,
we may observo tho spread of thought
yet moro pernicious, and the intercom-munication
of sympathies yel more men-acing.
Sometimes the murmur of tluir.
discontent snd ignorance assumes an ar-ticulate
form, and speaks in (lie accents
of tho disciples of Thorn, the followers of
Stephens, and tho millions whose creed
is Chartism ; for such arc the instructors
lo whom you leave the minds of the peo-ple.
Some learn their religion, from a
lunatic, in whose resurrection they be-lieve
; others arc taught thai every man
has a right to what wages he thinks rea-sonable,
and that he may enforce bis right
by tho dagger and the torch. Others
learn that rents and profits are a deduc-tion
from wages, and consequently be-lieve
lhal Iho owners of land and capi-tal
are Iho plunderers ond oppressors of
the workman. These doctrines advance
unencounlered by tho morality or the
simple political reasons which would dis-pel
their influence. This bnd instruc
lion is allowed to be Ihe only instruction
to the poor ; while you, the enlightened
rulers of Ibis country, whoso properly
and lives will be the first victims of these
terrible delusions of the masses, spend,
in a squabble about creeds, Ihe precious
lime which is rapidly bearing us on lo
the dark catastrophe of your culpable
folly and neglect."

Ihe attendant vanished. The

-LONG, LOW, RAKISH, BLACK-LOOK-ING
SCHOONER."
Our readers have not probably forgot-ten
the tale of horrors of s year ago, about
"iho pirate off our Capes." The scbr.
Eveline, Sears, of New Bedford, arrived
al Wilmington, reported having fallen in
with " a long, sharp schooner of about 60
Ions," about B o'clock Monday. On her
stein, was painted " L'Aimstad." Shu
wss manned by negroes, many of whom
were naked.
The pilot boat Lafayette, al New York,
makes a similar report. There were 2f>
or 30 negroes on deck. She was seen
oft" Ihe woodlands by the pilot boat on
Wednesday.
Tho U. S. steam frigate Fulton wei.t
down immediately from New York, but
rclurned without seeing the schooner.
Sinco the above, the schooner lias a-gain
been seen, by the pilots on board
the John K. Davisun, about 25 miles from
Montague Point. Captain Bullengcr ot
Ihe pilot boat says :
" We asked if they wauled a pilot, and
received no answer, we hailed again, and
inquired if Ihey wanted lo go lo New-
York. They said in broken English, no;
but tbey were going losoinc other coun-try,
pointing to tho \. E. They asked
for water, bul would not come for il—
Wc then hoisted the American flag, and
hailed them tbe thitd time, and told them
to follow us—lhat we were going to take
Ibem lo New York. L'pon ibis, they
rushed lo the quarter-deck, and armed
tlieinselvi 3 wilh muskets and cutlasses,
aod hoisted the bloody flag at the peak."
The barque George Porter, since ar-rived
in our city, reports to Mr. Coffee
of the Exchange:
" I sailed from Neuvitas 0 days ago.
The Spanish sChr."L"Armstad"(Friend-ship)
sailed from Havana about 7 weeks
since, bound to Neuvitas. with a cargo
of dry goods, dec, and 50 slaves on board,
all owned by Mr. Carrias of Puerto Pu-nepe,
wilh Mr. Joseph Ruig, bis nephew,
as supercargo on board, who it is said,
was murdered."
CAPTURE OF THE PIKATE.
The " long, low, black schooner" has
been captured at last; in regard to which,
the following appears in Ibu New York
Star of Wi dncsday itftf moon :
" We learn from Ihe Captain of Iho
steamboat Cleopatra, arrived this morn-ing
from Hartford, lhat the suspicious
pirate looking vessel, hovering over the
coast, has been captured in Gardener's
Bay, Long Island Sound, near Monlauk
Point, by the L'. S. brig Washington,
Captain Gedncy.
"She is a schooner, about 1^0 tuns,
having about B0 slaves on board, and
supposed to have been bound from the
the coast of Africa lo Havana. Il is as-certained
that the slaves rose upon the
Captain and erew, and murdered them
all, with the exception of three, whose
lives were spared for Ihe purpose of nav-igating
the vessel) one only at a lime be-ing
permitted to came on deck. The
schooner had plenty of provisions, but
was out of water. The L'. S. Marshal of
Connecticut went down last evening to
lake possession of Iho vessel."
